Conference Papers
Process safety practices and management systems have been in place for many years, and have been widely credited for reductions in major accident risk. However, many organisations today are challenged by inadequate management system performance, resource pressures, and stagnant or declining process safety performance.
Mr. Broadribb is a member of BakerRisk’s Process Safety Group. He began work at BakerRisk in December 2009 after 41 years of service with a major oil company. Throughout the course of his career, his work has primarily focused on onshore and offshore oil and gas exploration and production facilities, oil refineries, and marine terminals in Europe and North America in a variety of operations, technical, and process safety roles.
As the biofuels industry continues to expand in support of global decarbonization mandates and objectives, facility owners and developers are being challenged to balance production efficiency, operational reliability, and personnel safety.
As high hazard facilities, biofuels sites should focus on developing a fire protections strategy informed by performance-based analysis so strategies implemented meet the unique challenges found at each facility.
